Just for now, here’s a simple recipe for making damper while we write some more camping recipes for you to enjoy:

Ingredients:

• 3 cups self-rising flour (or all-purpose flour mixed with baking powder)
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
• 1 cup water (approximately)

Instructions:

1. Prepare your campfire or outdoor cooking area. You’ll need a fire with hot coals or a suitable place for cooking over an open flame.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour (or all-purpose flour and baking powder mixture), salt, and sugar (if using).
3. Gradually add the water to the dry ingredients, stirring as you pour. Mix well until a dough forms. Adjust the amount of water as needed; you may not need the full cup depending on the flour and humidity.
4. Once the dough comes together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it briefly until it’s smooth.
5. Shape the dough into a round or oval shape, about 1-2 inches thick.
6. Wrap the dough in aluminum foil or place it in a cast-iron Dutch oven with a lid. If using foil, make sure to wrap it securely.
7. Place the wrapped dough directly onto the hot coals or on a grill over the fire. Cook for around 20-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the damper is cooked through and sounds hollow when tapped.
8. Once done, carefully remove the damper from the heat and allow it to cool slightly before unwrapping or slicing.
9. Serve the damper warm, either plain or with toppings like butter, jam, or honey.

This simple damper recipe is great for camping because it’s easy to make with minimal ingredients and can be cooked over a campfire, adding a fun and rustic touch to outdoor meals.
